uh-oh, barry warned you john, should've just let sleeping dogs lie
Yesterday we wrote about a Craigslist ad a filmmaker had placed looking for a Sarah Palin double for an upcoming porno. Today, the Daily News' Rush & Molloy reported that the would-be producer of Sarah Bare-a-Cooter is none other than Larry Flynt of Hustler fame. At first we were a little surprised that such a well-known auteur would cast off Craigslist — then again, we realized, it's porn. And anyway, what really surprised us about the item is that the News, taking a cue from Us Weekly, inserted a link into the middle of the story to a video of the actual Sarah Palin. In which the vice-presidential candidate is playing the flute. C'mon, guys, that's just in bad taste.

bare-a-cooter XD XD XD
bare-a-cooter? i thought it was gonna be Nailin Palin lol
Little-known fact: John McCain's middle name was originally "Adolf", but, like his political stance, he changed it before he started running for President so he had a chance in hell at winning.
Not untruthful but its a fucking poor analogy since Obama was EIGHT YEARS OLD when Ayers was doing what he did, and the two were never that close, whereas Osama Bin Laden was like white on rice with his friends who bombed the pentagon.
Honestly, I dont get the whole Ayers angle, why not attack on Rezko since theres definitely more material for attacks there? And that kind of attack only lets Obama reciprocate on Keating Five instead of the attacks that they are gonna have to deal with now with all the 'anti-American' or as Keith Olbermann pointed out domestic terrorist associations in other countries that both Palin and McCain have.
I thought about that too. I think the ayers angle is just so much easier to pitch to the american public because americans hate terrorism. The Rezko scandel would require a lot of education on the part of the voters and the time and energy spent doing that they feel is better spent using bullshit like ayers
Swamp: I'd flame him for it because he is obviously using it in a way to insinuate a secret muslim terrorist, which is ridiculous
I thought McCain's middle name was Sidney, however, I have heard people used to gibe his nickname was "Songbird" for breaking after 5 years of torture.
Well because cracks against the Messiah are justified in being flamed. (that's Sarcasm)
After seeing two pages of "jokes" showing the possible VP as The gay Teletubby, and other crap, flaming Rush for making a joke seems obscene.
And Beckwin, seriously, illegal wire taps somehow justify blowing up buildings? That's sick.
Ayers history with Weather Underground involves a couple riots, destruction of public property, attacks on offices, police stations, freeing of a convicted felon - for a fee. Of course because they were just blowing up mean government type places, then they thought they were revolutionaries, when in fact terrorist more fits what they did. In the end, 3 people for sure were killed through WU actions (some WU nutjobs blew themselves up making bombs one night), and possibly a police officer - never was confirmed.
And your Iran-Contra scandal there... if Obama's defense is he was 8 years old and all that blah blah, then McCain need not go further than a direct quote for his defense.
"I don't recall talking to McCain at all on the work of the group,"
"I don't ever remember hearing about his [McCain] resigning, but I really wasn't worried about that part of our activities, a housekeeping thing," said Singlaub. "If he didn't want to be on the board that's OK. It wasn't as if he had been active participant and we were going to miss his help. He had no active interest. He certainly supported us."
McCain was elected in '82, put on the board, and left by '84. So if you want to hold McCain accountable for being on this board for 2 years, then Obama's relationship with Ayers, and the fact that he was in Wright's church for 2+ decades are more than fair game. The more the past gets dug up on both of these candidates, the more it favors McCain.
Watch for it - the media will "make" the race close again. A blowout is no good for ratings.
I don't see what the big deal is with that whole secessionist thing. No one ever reports on the well-known secessionist movement in Vermont.
...or my willingness to move there if they ever go through with it lol...
Everyone, I'd like you to meet the skeletons in the closet!![]()
Palin was a figure-head of a secessionist party yet people want to talk about Obama being unamerican for something his pastor said? Have you seen the bullshit that's spewed in Palin's church? Come on now. Theres even video of her praising ignorant bullshit within the church herself, yet no one talks about it.
This is the lady McCain chose to be president. Do you think he chose her in the best interest of America or himself?

I'm surprised this was on CNN. Watch it, pick it apart, I don't care.
McCain was directly involved in the organization; he didn't serve on a charity board 30 years later with someone who was involved with funding South American deathsquads (which is 10x worse than what Ayers did). How you can even say it's a less condemning association than Obama working to improve education in the same charity as Ayers is beyond me- seriously, think about what you're saying. John McCain was 40ish years old when he was part of this organization that supported death squads and a US congressman, that's a pretty stark difference from being an 8 year old kid.
And it's not just he wiretaps on Ayers alone that justified it, that's only a direct relevance to the why of those kinds of actions... the CIA and FBI were engaging in massive amounts of illegal actions against all kinds of "radicals", including wiretapping MLK, putting moles in all kinds of protest/activist groups, etc and the Federal government stood idly by for ages while southern State Troopers and local police beat the shit out of civil rights activists. Protests were met with bullets and clubs and dogs and hoses and gas.
On top of that you had Presidential administrations bombing the fuck out of third world countries and overthrowing even democratically elected governments. And that's not even getting into Vietnam- which was a war started by hawkish elites and fought by "Joe Sixpack" after he got drafted. There's no arguing the illegitimacy of that war and our conduct in that region... the Pentagon Papers spilled all the beans.
I'm generally really pacifistic, but if there was ever a time to make a show of violence to the US government, it was then.
Zero new information, and an absolutely unbelievable amount of spin to make it sound like $100m given for EDUCATION REFORM (from a private foundation, no less) went straight into Wright and Ayers's pockets.
Did you really think this brought *anything* to the table besides rehashed and disproven bullshit?
I must be missing something; in regards to the person talking about Obama's link to his pastor and that Weatherman guy being fair game if McCain's involvement with Iran-Contra is used against him; wasn't the point that if the McCain uses the Weatherman thing that McCain's link to Iran-Contra for fair game? If i'm not mistaken, the Weatherman issue is being implicitly used by the McCain campaign first.
